"Yeah, maybe." Cam sounded a little unconvinced -- they didn't see how bringing in Outlanders who sided with the Old Gods could ultimately benefit the Voice. But they didn't intend to argue with Lilliane about it, either.
"As I understand it, they want to destroy us because the Old Gods said so. Sometimes they throw in nice words like 'unnatural' and 'abominations,' too." Sighing, Cam ran a hand through their hair. "But, you know, ask them. If you think there's an explanation that can justify that, well ... That's your decision to make. The Voice isn't perfect," they added. "She's done some fucked-up stuff in the past, and that turned a lot of people against her. I get that. But this current idea that the Ascended all need to be killed for who we are, regardless of what we have or haven't done ... " They shrugged.
Cam let out a little chuckle. "Well, I'm uncomfortable with the idea of drinking blood, honestly, so I don't blame anyone else for not liking it." At Lilliane's question, they thought for a long moment. "Well, if you're Accepted, you can actually call the gods down if you need them. And I think new people in Caido are usually accepted, so you probably have that ability too."
